indulgence

Posted on July 26, 2006

A must-have for Ramil and me when we got married is a tv. We planned to buy one since January but due to budget constraints, we opted to ‘borrow’ one of the tv’s in my parent’s house. The thing kept us sane for 5 months and then it started malfunctioning. Last week, the borrowed tv was very moody, sometimes refusing to turn on. This prompted some tantrums from both of us (not at the same time) because we missed some shows we regularly watch.

Ok lang, luma na din kasi talaga un tv. My dad bought it nung unang lumabas and PS1. He bought the PS1 and tv for my younger brother. Yun nga lang, Ramil and I were torn the past few days. We wanted to buy a tv but we know we’re in a ’saving mode’ right now. We decided to just look at our possible choices. Hehe!

I learned about Citibank’s appliance exhibit at the megatrade hall in SM Megamall so we decided to look around last Saturday. We saw a few items we could buy but decided to mull on it for a while. The next day, after interpreting a lot of things as ’signs’, we decided to buy one. Buti na lang walang pasok nung Monday! We went back to SM Megamall and bought ourselves a JVC 21” flat tv with sub-woofer that was bundled with a DVD player and tv rack. We even borrowed my dad’s revo so that we can bring it home immediately. Hehe! We came home very happy that night.

The next day, I kept asking Ramil whether we made the right decision to buy one now especially with the baby we are expecting. We just made excuses for ourselves that we’ve been planning to buy one for a long time now at ayaw namin tipirin ang sarili namin dahil baka ma-resent pa namin ang pag-baby namin. Hehe! Plus, I’m going to need a tv if I decide to quit my job and stay home with the baby next year. It’s all for our sanity.
